Question For You Guys.

I have a IROC hood, and I was wondering what you guys thought I should do. Should I leave the stock RS hood on, or swap to the IROC hood? I'm starting to look at it and think it would look better.

Re: Question For You Guys.

Somebody mind Photoshopping on a IROC hood? I like the clean look of the RS, but I look at some Camaro's and I like how the louvers go with the car. I mean, I could always paint it, and see what I think.

Not bad I like it. I think I saw a thread about it. Sharp edges are a little rough IMO I think you should have them rolled and smoothed. Fiberglass version would look great.

Cool concept and I like but it would never fit with my engine, And my motor doesn't even sit as high as most carbed performance engine.

Re: Question For You Guys.

It's got surface rust, but otherwise in great shape. If you really wanna make the drive we can set-up a time. I'll let you know.

This is what I might do. I'll probably paint it, and drive with it to see how I feel about it. I like the clean look of the RS hood, but I do like the IROC hood as well.

Re: Question For You Guys.

I'd go with the Iroc hood and paint your headlight buckets black.
